Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (sub Dorots frozen crushed garlic cubes to simplify)
- 1 1/2 cups celery, sliced and chopped into 1/4" pieces
- 1 1/2 cups medium- large carrots, sliced into 1/4" pieces
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 8 ounces high protein pasta - I used BANZA Cavatappi
- 6 cups chicken bone broth
- 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/8 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken *
Instructions
- Prepare the mirepoix. In a large pot over medium-heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring continuously. Add celery, carrot and onion to the pot, cook until onions are translucent, about 7-10 minutes. (1 tablespoon butter, 1 1/2 cups celery, 1 1/2 cups carrots, 1/2 cup onion.)
- Prepare the noodles. While the vegetables are sautéing, cook the noodles in a second pot. Follow package directions. Once noodles are al dente, remove from heat, drain and set aside. (8 oz. noodles)
- Add broth and spices. To the mirepoix, add bone broth, rosemary, sage, red pepper flakes and chicken bouillon powder. Bring to a boil, reduce to medium heat, cover and cook for 10 -15 minutes or until veggies have softened. (6 cups broth, 1/8 teaspoon rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon sage, 1/8 teaspoon pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder)
- Add the chicken to the soup. Remove lid and add shredded or chunked chicken to the pot. Continue cooking until chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes. (2 cups prepared chicken)
- Serve soup. Add about ⅔ cup of the cooked noodles to each individual serving bowl and scoop desired amount of soup atop the noodles.
- OPTIONAL GARNISHES: If desired add a quick squeeze of lemon and some freshly chopped parsley to each bowl of soup.
Notes
Chicken: Using a rotisserie chicken (or your own whole roasted chicken) is my go-to because it's simple and flavorful. Using baked and chopped or shredded cooked chicken breast or thighs works too.
